PLEASE HELP! POWER ADAPTER IS NOT CHARGING, THIS PROBLEM IS GETTING STUPID!

Someone out there, if you care pleeasee help me,
I have had this problem for a couple months now,
It all started when my friends computer (same, black macbook) started saying (calculating until....) all the time he had his charger plugged in, and the LED was a very dim green, he used my charger to put power into his battery, I then put his charger into my computer and noticed that the battery life did not change when i was using my macbook, later on that day, I plugged my own charger into my laptop and it did not charge, it also said (calculating until....) and the LED was a dim green, now I have used all the power in my battery and when i remove my charger my computer turns off.
I bought a new battery thinking it would resolve the problem, when I changed the batteries the new one had 39%, i plugged my charger in and it still failed to charge, not wanting to use a new battery i put my old battery back in.
Then thinking it must be my charger, I got a working one off of a friend, i watched it charge perfectly in his brothers computer and when i plugged it into my computer, the LED was a very dim green, and it still failed to charge.
I've tried all the apple, restart your NVRAM and SMC stuff. 2 of my friends have exactly the same problem and we're clueless. Does anyone know what is going on, this computer has my life on it, heelpp meeee pleeaaseeee!
thank you
harley

WHAT?!?!?!? You spent FOURTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS to get a new LB? Is this a typo? I don't think I even paid that much for my MB in the first place! Please tell me that's a typo!
I'm in the same general position: MacBook over a year old (16 months), no AppleCare, sudden apperance of the miserable black X ("No batteries available", my A$$!)... I've tried it all: reset the PRAM and SMC, installed Battery Update... I ran all the tricks and treats I could find on the "official" AND not-so-official Apple boards. No go. Performs just fine on AC, but the battery is gonzo. HellOOOo! A LAPTOP is supposed to be PORTABLE!!
I guess it's off for an hour-long ride to the closest Apple store for me. I'm hoping a Genius will take pity on my poor, un-warranty-havin' self and just swap my craptastic battery for a brand-spankin' new one -- AND I'm hoping that'll be the end of it! I get sick to my stomach at the idea of having to send my little baby off for service. I think I'd have to buy an external hard drive to back up all my photos and music and other files...
I've already suffered through the Random Shutdown circle of heII. And, as I type, my wrists are a-resting on a decidedly PINK-tinged interior plastic... I hate that my precious little MacBook has had all these problems. I know buying a new unit might resolve this, but I don't want a big ol' MBP or another MB! I want THIS machine!!! (to work)
Rant over.

Power Adapter Does Not Charge the Battery and Charge Light Is On?

Power Adapter Does Not Charge the Battery and Charge Light Is On?
My power adapter doesn't charge my computer anymore. however the charge light is on.
Please help my battery is draining fas

So, with your power adaptor connected not only does the battery not charge but the powerbook is not running on ac power. Then I guess the power adaptor is faulty. In as much as you've verified this with a known good one a new one is in order. Try yours in another powerbook to make sure.

Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

It goes like this.
Whenever i connect my iPhone5, it starts to sync. later when it reaches the 4th stage of 'Tranferring Purchases' it stops and says me to Authorize my computer.
But i had already authorized it and even signed my apple id.
Moreover, i have only authorized 1 out of my 5 computers.
Please help me.
I have been facing this from long.
Thank You.

Hi Rameez,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The steps in this article can help if iTunes is asking you to authorize your computer repeatedly:

MacBook Pro using power adapter but not charging.

My MacBook Pro is plugged in w/the power adapter, the green charging light is on, but my battery percentage is only showing 15% and is not increasing. It was actually at 60% this afternoon...went to 22% and now is @ 15%.

Could be bad battery or faulty charger or faulty charging circuitry. Take it to an Apple store or AASP.

Hi achyuth,
Thank you for posting on the National Instruments forum.
I am not sure what you are trying to do. Are you trying to input and output at the
same time? Are you just trying to
synchronize all of your inputs? Do you
want them to run off the same clock? If
you could, give me some more information so I can understand your problem
better.
In the meantime, this might help you:

Ipad air USB power adapter is not charging

I had to replace my charger twice within the year of having my ipad air in order to get it charging. The first time it happened I went out and bought a new cable (but kept the same adapter the ipad air came with). About a month or so later my ipad was no longer charging. I went out tonight and bought a new wall charger all together (so using a different adapter) and its now charging. I am not sure if this was an issue with the original power adapter or if there is something more going on. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I don't think it's unheard of. Charging issues can be things with the adapter, or with the cable.

My headphone jack is not working but the mic is working fine i have chked my headphones too . They r working fine i have cleared all the dust and my phone is upto date . Please help me how can i fix this problem

The problem would seem to be in the firewall in your router. Have you tried disabling it? I assume you've updated the router firmware, right? Consider bypassing the ISP provided router (using it as a modem only) and unsing another device such as an Aiport Express.

My Galaxy S4 continues to crash, have no cell signal or internet signal since the last update. Can someone please help? I didn't have this problem until this last update and it is really aggravating!

Since this last update, something has happened to not only my phone, but to my daughters phone as well. We are constantly having to restart our phone and have no cell coverage or internet access in places we used to have no problems at all. This is very aggravating and I am ready to ditch the phone for something else! Please help!

I have a S3 and this is driving me crazy. I have taken the battery out (left out for 2 hours in dark place inside original box, SIM card out, hard reset, soft reset, and anything else I could think of including going back to factory settings.
My phone will turn off in the middle of something I am doing. No matter what it is. I still get signal and am able to talk to people. But I use my phone for work and it is starting to get annoying when you have to re-start the email you were typing because your phone turned off and a draft was not saved.
This is my replacement phone that I got back in March/April of this year. I have an otter box for it and had no problems with the other phone until I dropped it (no otter box).
Not to mention my battery will say its like at 80% in the middle of taking a picture and then it wont turn on until I have connected to a charger because it wont turn on without it because from the time I wanted to take the picture to when I turn it on, I lost 75% of my battery.
Or if I get lucky and it will turn on, I have lost half of my battery charge no what percentage it is.
Please help me fix this as I need a working phone and it is not great having to carry a portable charger with me at all times.

Please Help Me - I am stuck with this problem for days

O.k I have posted couple of problems here. But the latest one is as follows
I trying to pass a Stiring Array from Java function to my native method. the native function in turn invokkes another function that takes a char [][] as its parameter. My native function basically converts teh jobjectarray into char [][] and then invoke the other function.
JNIEXPORT jboolean JNICALL
Java_copilotplus_DataTransferTab_GetStatus
(JNIEnv *env, jobject o, jobjectArray fn, jlongArray size)
char szStr[8][33];
int len = env->GetArrayLength( fn );
int i=0;
for( i=0; i < len; i++ )
jobject obj = env->GetObjectArrayElement(fn, i);
jstring str = (jstring)obj;
szStr[33] = (char)env->GetStringUTFChars( str, 0 );
//*file = szStr[i];
BOOL status = Upload(szStr);
return status;
BOOL Upload(char pFileName [][33])
return TRUE;
Now this compiles fine and makes a dll
But when I run my java program it gives me this error
HotSpot Virtual Machine Error, EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
# Please report this error at
# http://java.sun.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi
# Error ID: 4F533F57494E13120E43505002D4
What am I doing wrong
Please Help
Vaishali

The problem was that I did not ahve any actual values in the String Array. I was doing like this initially
String []file = new String[8]
and then when i pass file to the dll it was trying to read something which was not there. That's why it was crashing.
But now I put some values in it and then it works fine.

HT1695 Please help, my iPhone is pointless with this problem!

I have an iPhone 5 and am stuck on a "Searching..." bar where I should have either 3G or the Wi-Fi signal. This has been stuck like this all day, and I haven't been able to send/receive any text messages. I also can't go onto the Internet. Please help.

Try taking out your sim card (if you have a GSM iPhone) and putting it back in. If that doesn't work do a restart by holding down the lock and home buttons simulatneously until you see the Apple logo come back on the screen. If that doesn't work then I suggest doing a Restore of your phone through iTunes.
If all else fails, talk with your carrier, it's probably an issue with them at that point. Good luck!

Please Help my iPhone is not charging properly

lastnight i put my iphone4 on charge at 11% when i plugged it into the wall and swithed on the power it had no reaction at all it didnt light up make a noise at all so i plugged it into a different outlet it still done the same thing so i left it over night and woke up this morning only to find it had charged but very slowly it took all night to get from 11% to 44%???? is it the phone or the charger??? normally my phone will charge to 100% in 2-3hrs?? any advice would be much appreciated.

Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off" let it restart itself. If still problem, the plug symbol usually means battery issue. Make Genius appointment, Apple Store can perform quick battery diagnostic testing.

Please help me out guys as i this problem is troubling me since so long...i hav tried to change my hard drive also but the problem is still persisting..I am using Sony Vaio..

my battery on my iphone three is growning and it turns off around 80% then in order for it to turn back on i need to put it on the charger , somebody please help me i need to fix this is there anyway ican?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue persists, then take the device to Apple for evaluation.
FYI, Apple will not replace the battery without first doing basic troubleshooting or testing the battery.

The enter key is not working in firefox but it has working fine in chrome and IE so please help me to rid out from this.

Hello gokulaan, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.
